BT Equinox 1350 – Edition 4.1 – 27.09.05 – 6576

WARNING

Do not place your BT Equinox

1350 in the bathroom or other

humid areas.

Handset range

The BT Equinox 1350 has a range

of 300 metres outdoors when there

is a clear line of sight between the

base and handset. When there is

no clear line of sight between the

base and handset, e.g. base

indoors and handset either indoors

or outdoors, the range could be

reduced to 50 metres. Thick stone

walls severely affect the range.

Signal strength

The symbol on your handset

screen indicates when you are in

range. When you are out of range,

it flashes.

IMPORTANT

Do not connect the telephone line

until at least one of the handsets is

fully charged.

The base must be plugged into the

mains power at all times.

Location

You need to place your BT Equinox 1350 close enough

to a mains power and telephone socket so that the cables

will reach.

Make sure it is at least 1 metre away from other electrical

appliances to avoid interference.

Your BT Equinox 1350 works by sending radio signals

between the handset and base. The strength of the

signal depends on where you site the base. Putting it as

high as possible ensures the best signal.

Setting up

1. Plug the mains power cable into the base and plug the

other end into the wall socket.

Getting started

Which socket?

Power socket

Telephone line socket

If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 605 8047

The red Charging light stays on

while the handset is on the base,

even when the batteries are fully

charged.

Talk/Standby time

Under ideal conditions, fully charged

handset batteries should give up

to 9 hours talktime or 70 hours

standby on a single charge.

Battery low warning

The handset battery symbol is

empty and you will hear a warning

beep. Start recharging your

handset right away.

When charging the battery, level

bars are animated.

Replacing batteries

Use only rechargeable 750mAh or

higher capacity AAA NiMH batteries.

Battery performance

When batteries are fully charged

the display shows three green bars.

To keep your batteries in the best

conditions, leave the handset off

the base for a few hours at a time

(after the initial 24 hour charge).

Please note however, that new

NiMH batteries do not reach full

capacity until they have been in

normal use for several days.

2. Insert 2 x AAA NiMH batteries supplied into the handset.

Slide the battery compartment cover into place.

3. Charge the handset for at least 24 hours by placing it on

the base. The red Charging light comes on. The handset

is pre-registered to the base as Handset 1. The screen

shows the standby display.

4. After 24 hours, plug the telephone line cord into the wall

socket and your BT Equinox 1350 base.

BT Equinox 1350 – Edition 4.1 – 27.09.05 – 6576

If you experience any problems, please call the Helpline on 0870 605 8047

Range indicator

The symbol on your handset display indicates when

you are in range of the base. If you are out of range, the

symbol will flash. If you are on a call you will hear a

beep in the earpiece and you will need to move closer to

the base. The handset display shows

Base

and the

number of the base last used.

Day, date and time

If you have subscribed to your network’s Caller Display

service, the time and date will be set automatically when

you receive your first call. However, the day will not be set.

When the day is set, your answering machine will

announce the correct day your messages are received.

To set the day, date and time manually, see Time Settings,

page 83.

Your BT Equinox 1350 is now ready for use.

Getting started

Running the batteries right down

at least once a week will help them

last as long as possible.

The charge capacity of rechargeable

batteries will reduce with time as

they wear out, so reducing the

talk/standby time of the handset.

Eventually they will need to be

replaced. New batteries can be

obtained from the BT Equinox

Helpline

0870 605 8047.

Helpline

If you have any difficulties setting

up your BT Equinox 1350, please

the mains at all times.

BT Equinox 1350 multiple pack

2. Insert the batteries.

3. Charge the handset for at least 24 hours.

Your BT Equinox 1350 additional handset comes
